Daily Observations ]


good horse After short ride he found
Mr.. Rathburn Browns, but there was no
wedding therel 1t was learned there
that the wedding was at Mr.. Al. Browns,
mile and half up the G. w. & B. Rail-
road. But the minister found the right
parties at last, and everybody was happy.
C. w. Rice is suffering from rheum-
atism again. William E. Evans, of
Centreville, called to-day. ......J. G. Per-
kins and Jordan McCarter, of Berlin,
called this morning. ..... We had pleas
ant call from d. 7. Selleek, of Jackson
Township. He has for some time been
up at his old home in Hardin County.
MFR. Selleck is a most excellent citizen.
......A solitary screech-owl was making
night hideous in the west part of town
tonight. The inky darkness of the streets
of Jackson is congenial.
THURsDAY.-John T. Moore went to
Waverly to attend Circuit Court. Miss
Nellie and Mr.. Harry Mackley went to
Columbus to visit friends. Mr.. Eben
j. Jones, of Oak Hill, called. ;. Mr.. r. w.
Jones thinks he may remove to Jackson
in the Spring. 1T does seem strange
that during all the talk of Nail Mills,
Factories and public improvements,
Jackson is left SO dark that stranger
can't leave his hotel after night. -. John
Shook of Coalton. is in town. =. William
Vaughn spent yesterday at Wellston....
Matt. Evans went to Hamden for few
hours visit yesterday. Hamden is ahead
of Jackson on the street-Ight question.
E. Kahn, of Cincinnati, has been here for
several days, visiting friends. ....T There
is talk of a new doggery on Portsmouth
street. Mr.. Bundy called on E. L.
Harper day or two ago. in the Peniten-
tiary.. Herschel johnson has taken up
his abode at Columbus for four years.
Herschel has been pretty hard boy, and
the wonder is that he kept out as long as
he did. The cause of his misfortunes
was-whisky.
FRIDAY-Mr. G. w. Rice, the merchant
caused his friends much anxiety to-day.
About half past six this morning. while
sitting on chair before the fire, he fell,
fainting. Medical aid was Immediately
called, and from the arrival of DR.. Ewing
a few minutes afterward, until three
o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.. Rice had an
almost continuous string of fainting
spells. After that time he became easier.
His suffering was perhaps result of his
old, rheumatic affection. ........ The new
minister on the Coalton Circuit is in town
to-day-a very pleasant and intelligent
gentleman. Ira Rice is in town to-
night. Ira has a new baby at his house.
IL. w. French sold his fine store on
Broadway to-day to Mr. Hutson McGhee,
who will occupy the same building.
Isaiah Kincaid, of Mabees, called.....
Officer Martin was seen chasing couple |
of boys to-day who ran away from
School. One of them took down the |
Kyle hill, over through jamestown, and |
out the Tropie Switch. and for perhaps |
half mile, did not stop running Seems
to us it would be much easier to study a |
few hours each day, than do so much |
running.
SATURDAY-James McKitterick is at |
work on the foundation for the new |
parsonage of the M. E. Society. y..... Ed. |
Poor is developing great speed as a
walker. He got into Macarthur Junction
bO-0dy JllSb do buC III dII1 IOl w do
pulling out. But Ed. got away with that |
ungenerous train with vim. He lit out |
for Hamden with a speed which made |
all the old men along the route feel their |
and aching limbs and sigh for |
the good old days of "forty year agop Ed. |
made it in time to catch the mail at |
Hamden-but it would have made no |
difference. He'd have come right on to |
Jackson afoot if he hadn't. ....T The Spare |
Minute Circle had a jolly time at M. E. |
Church last night. In additionl to tie |
usual exercises the young folks had a |
treat. Squire Mccartney came in to |
the G. A. r. meeting tonight He walked |
home eight miles after night. This is
exercise enough to make good healthy |
man sleep especially man with |
a good record and clear conscience, like |
the Squire. -. Mr.. S. E. Brookins and |
family returned from two weeks trip |
to the West this morning. They had a |
good time. IA new plan for hitching |
horses was shown on Broadway tonight |
This was not anew plan in some localities, |
but was in this-that of tying the hitch |
strap to fore-leg. 1t worked like a |
charm.
SUNDAY.-This gloomy day, when out
door exercise is unpleasant, and when |
the preaching of the word is finished for |
the time, one feels that he can do little |
else than sit by the fire and think. How
are the people spending the Sabbath,
anyway? We see the merry, bright
faced children on the way to and from
Sunday School; we see the older people,
with pleased expressions of countenance,
passing to and from Church; we see the |
men who have worked all week, enjoy
the quiet of their homes, sweet rest;
we see the loafer, who has not worked
all week, winding his lonely way from
one street corner to another in search of
soft salt-barrel; all these varied pictures
come up, the week before Christmas.
How much-each in his own way, will
each one do toward making it a merry
Christmas, day commemorating, in a
fitting manner, the advent of the Savior
of mar kind into the world? 1t requires
but little effort on the part of each to
make Christmas day of grand enjoy
ment. Let every one do his or her part
in the good work. Give presents; give
thanks; give your noblest efforts toward
Christianizing the world, and blessing
humanity.
MoNDAY.-John w. Horton, of Jeffer-
son Township called to-day. He inform
ed us that name was printed wrong in
our issue last week. In speaking of the
returning home of Miss Harris, who is
seriously i'll in his neighborhood, we gave
the name of Daniel Harris as the lady's
fatheraIt should have been David Harris.
-. The Soldier boys over at Mabees
are endeayoring to get up G. A. r. Post,
